Payton Pritchard has proven himself to be one of the best second-unit scorers in the NBA. The Boston Celtics guard was named as the 2025 Sixth Man of the Year, and could have snagged the award in 2026 if he hadn't moved into the starting lineup for the first half of the season. When looking at his overall scoring production, it's clear that Pritchard is on one of the best value contracts in the NBA, worth $30 million over four years.
Heading into the offseason, Brad Stevens and the Celtics front office will have a decision to make, as Pritchard becomes extension-eligible. He could stand to earn more than double his current salary, in what would be the most lucrative contract of his career. However, Pritchard would already be 31 by the time the extension kicks in, meaning the Celtics have a difficult decision to make.
In the latest episode of The "Celtics Chronicle" podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Tim Sheils discuss whether the Celtics should offer Pritchard an extension this summer, what the ideal value of that extension would be, and what it could mean for Pritchard if they opted against giving him the extension.
